The History Book ...: ARCHIVE - May 2016 - BIBLIOGRAPHY - SPOILER THREAD - Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention by Manning Marable Like people who learn a foreign language later in life, Virginia and Laura will never speak the language of love without an accent.” Afterward, Dr. Perry asked for the postponement of the trial as Sandy had still not received the proper counseling she should have received immediately after the trauma, and this was already 10 months after. Well, I guess I know what I’m reading next. Sometimes I think I should stay away from your blog since it always has so many excellent reading recommendations. My Mount To Be Read grows ever higher but it’s so worth it.
They had relatives outside of the compound and soon, they would be leaving to their foster families. He was also bothered about breaking the tenuous trust that had begun to be formed between him and the kids. We also need to recognize that not all stress is bad, that children require challenges and risk as well as safety. It is natural to want to protect our children, but we need to ask ourselves when the desire for risk-free childhoods has gone too far. The safest playground, after all, would have no swings, no steep slides, no rough surfaces, no trees, no other children—and no fun. Children’s brains are shaped by what they do slowly and repeatedly over time. If they don’t have the chance to practice coping with small risks and dealing with the consequences of those choices, they won’t be well prepared for making larger and far more consequential decisions.”While the kids were receiving care at the group home, the Ranch Apocalypse (as it was dubbed by David Koresh) was still going on. Friends and families were still fighting at the compound. So, patience lots and lots of patience required to rehabilitate a damaged dog like Finna and celebrating even the tiniest improvement. I do think that eventually she’ll get to the point where she can pass her CGC (my personal goal for her) although it’s likely to take several more years. Still that I can imagine her achieving that goal is a lot more than I could have imagined a year ago.
The book is an easy read written in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. Nevertheless, it covers some topics that are really difficult to talk about such as molestation, neglect, and abuse. Get ready, this book might leave you in tears. Thank you for writing this piece, it reinforced a lot of what I have been doing in my practice with client dogs from hoarding situations to my own dog. Reducing economic inequality and helping victims of domestic violence and child abuse are critical if we want to cut violence and crime.” Over the years, research from my lab and many others has produced a much richer understanding of what trauma does to children and how we can help them heal from it. In 1996 I founded The ChildTrauma Academy, an interdisciplinary group of professionals dedicated to improving the lives of high-risk children and their families. We continue our clinical work and still have much to learn, but our primary goal is to bring treatments based on the best of our existing knowledge to others. We train people who work with children—whether they are parents or prosecutors, police officers or judges, social workers, physicians, policy makers, or politicians—to understand the most effective ways of minimizing the impact of trauma and maximizing recovery. We consult with government agencies and other groups to help them implement the best practices in dealing with these issues. My colleagues and I travel extensively around the world, speaking to parents, doctors, educators, child protection workers, and law enforcement officials, as well as high level stakeholders such as legislative bodies or committees and concerned corporate leaders. This book is part of our efforts. What could prompt parents to give up sleep, sex, friends, personal time and virtually every other pleasure in life to meet the demands of a small, often irritatingly noisy, incontinent, needy being? The secret is that caring for children is, in many ways, indescribably pleasurable. Our brains reward us for interacting with our children, especially infants: their scent, the cooing sounds they make when they are calm, their smooth skin and especially, their faces are designed to fill us with joy. What we call “cuteness” is actually an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that parents will care for their children, that babies will get their needs met, and parents will take on this seemingly thankless task with pleasure.”

Working with her, Dr. Perry was able to get Tina to act out her self-directed reenactment of what happened the day her mother was murdered. By doing this, she was able to gain some control of the situation, at least, in her memory. From his work with such children, observing their treatment just after the trauma to their growth over time into adulthood, Perry was convinced that relationships were a key determinant to how the children turned out.

memory is what the brain does, how it composes us and allows our past to help determine our future. In no small part memory makes us who we are” But when we started, I didn't really know what I was doing, at least as a writer. Unlike Maia, I had never written a book. We had several discussions about how to put everything together. We decided to use a series of clinical narratives—stories, basically—about patients whose experiences illustrated key concepts about the brain, development, or trauma. We sought a balance between these detailed, individual stories and the teaching of scientific material; we wanted the reader to be engaged and not overwhelmed by either the complexities of the brain or the emotional intensity of a child's painful history. It was a fine line, and, as it turns out, for some readers the intensity or complexity were too much. So please note: if you are reading this book for the first time and have a history of traumatic experience, be aware that it does contain some extremely disturbing material. Pace yourself accordingly. Here are some symptoms we can look for that MIGHT indicate trauma in a dog: Anorexia, won’t eliminate, pacing, inability to sleep, hyper-vigilance, extreme fear, being easily startled, outbursts of aggression or rage that have no predictable pattern, and refusal to play. Of course, this list is just a start, but we have to start somewhere. Working with traumatized and maltreated children has also made me think carefully about the nature of humankind and the difference between humankind and humanity. Not all humans are humane. A human being has to learn how to become humane. That process—and how it can sometimes go terribly wrong—is another aspect of what this book is about. The stories here explore the conditions necessary for the development of empathy—and those that are likely, instead, to produce cruelty and indifference. They reveal how children's brains grow and are molded by the people around them. They also expose how ignorance, poverty, violence, sexual abuse, chaos, and neglect can wreak havoc upon growing brains and nascent personalities.
